Dr. Al-Fares said in a statement on Sunday, "Ensuring labor rights in any enterprise boosts work environment safety," noting the ministry approach to boost such rights as "a value and practice."
The minister also indicated that inking the agreement would be, ultimately, followed with adoption of a broad national strategy for laborers' safety.
It is the first time the department has inked such an agreement with a public welfare association for safety of the workers, minister Al-Fares added.
